Maggie Lane didn't plan to start over-especially not in a sleepy mountain town where the biggest excitement is the Friday night rodeo and gossip spreads faster than wildfire. But when her picture-perfect life in the city crumbled and her charming fiancé revealed a much darker side, Maggie packed her bags, changed her number, and ran. Now hiding behind a new last name and living in the guest house of a reclusive single dad, she's trying to rebuild her life in peace. Her new job as nanny to a spunky five-year-old girl seems like the fresh start she desperately needs-until quiet mornings and home-cooked dinners start to feel dangerously like home. And her brooding boss, Dawson Rhodes? He's the last man she should fall for. Stoic. Grumpy. Protective. And far too observant for Maggie's comfort. But Dawson has shadows of his own-raising his daughter alone after a devastating betrayal, he's sworn off relationships. Until Maggie crashes into his life with her stubborn streak, soft heart, and the kind of fire he thought he'd forgotten how to feel. Just as Maggie begins to let her guard down, strange things start happening: an unmarked package left on the porch, a familiar car spotted in town, and late-night calls from a blocked number. It's not just paranoia. Her ex is still out there. Watching. Waiting. Now, Maggie has to decide if she's ready to stop running-and whether this quiet little town and the cowboy who's captured her heart are worth fighting for.

Thessaly has spent her life haunted by nightmares of a shadowed male and a beast prowling beneath her skin. But her visions are not the only pieces of herself she cannot trust. Her memories have been stripped from her again and again, her past stolen and her origins buried, until one violent night forces her to unleash the darkness she has spent her life suppressing. Dragged into the hidden world of the fae, a realm divided between the radiant Seelie Court and the shadowed Unseelie, Thessaly learns her nightmares were never only dreams. They were warnings. Invitations. A door opening between her and something ancient enough to recognize the magic waking inside her. Riven, heir to the Seelie Court, is the first to see the woman beneath the prophecy. Ruthless, guarded, and bound by secrets of his own, he should be her enemy. Instead, he becomes the one person capable of anchoring her to the humanity she is terrified to lose. But fate has another claim on her-one that has been waiting in her nightmares. Kael, commander in a rising dark army, does not fear what Thessaly is becoming. He reveres it. As her power grows, the dreams that once haunted her become something far more dangerous: a connection. Where Riven offers control, Kael offers release. Where Riven loves the woman she is fighting to remain, Kael worships the weapon she could become. And to a girl whose life has been stolen, sealed, and buried, being worshipped might feel dangerously like being seen. As war stirs across the realms and forgotten bloodlines begin to wake, Thessaly must uncover the truth of what was taken from her before the darkness beneath her skin convinces her to surrender the last fragile pieces of who she was. Because the prophecy the courts fear may not be warning of a savior at all, but of the hidden heirs whose choices could save the realms-or end them. ~~~~~~ A special thank you to @ToWolfKin for creating the cover.

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀 is left adrift. With no place to call home or plan for the future. Only a useless degree, unmedicated anxiety disorder, and a penchant for burnout. So when a lifelong friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in NYC is more complicated than a small town girl could have imagined. And it would seem the universe still has a few tricks up its sleeve. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her forbidden feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and her lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed.

Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the city nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy.
